Pretty Little Liars 6 Killer - Comments on

She stared across the courtyard. More sixth graders paraded toward the classrooms. A few gathered
around
a sign hanging outside the door, talking giddily. “I’m going to find a piece,” said a brunette girl with
sparkly
clips in her hair. “Yeah, right,” said her friend, a petite Asian girl with a high ponytail. “You’ll never figure
out those clues.”
Emily squinted at the sign’s block letters. TIME CAPSULE IS HERE! HAVE YOU STARTED SEARCHING
YET?
“Remember how excited everyone was for Time Capsule the first year we were able to pl ay?” Hanna
murmured,
watching the girls too.
Aria pointed to the bike racks near the sixth-grade entrance. “That was where Ali announced that she
knew
where one of the pieces was.”
“That was so annoying.” Spencer groaned, making a face. “She cheated—Jason told her where it was.
She
didn’t even have to solve the clues. That’s why I wanted to steal Ali’s piece—I didn’t think she deserved
it.”
“Except you didn’t get to steal it,” Hanna singsonged. “Because someone stole it first. And we’ll never
find
out who.”
Aria coughed loudly. Bottled water spewed out of her mouth. Everyone turned to look at her. “I’m fine,”
she
assured them, wheezing.
The high school bell rang, and the girls broke apart. Spencer walked off quickly, barely saying good-bye.
Hanna lingered, tapping her iPhone. Emily fell in step with Aria. For a while, the only sound was their
shoes crunching through the icy crust of snow on the commons. Emily wondered if Aria was thinking
about
the same thing she was—could Ian be telling the truth? Was someone else behind Ali’s murder?
